We welcome you to a cozy, 4 bedroom, 1½ storey home in the heart of our 56 acre hobby farm. The home has been recently renovated; a new sun room has been finished and a large picture window has been added to the breakfast nook in the kitchen.

The farm was patented in 1801 and the house was built shortly after, so it is approximately 200 years old. Construction is board and batten siding on wood frame. It has seen at least 3 major additions and hence has three levels to the main floor.

Nestled in the centre of 3 acres of lawns, rock gardens, natural ponds and streams, our home is a secluded, peaceful haven. The main house is 1200 feet from the Pt. Petre Rd. and almost invisible because of all the trees at the pond.

Apart from our two horses, Misty and Foxy, and the chickens and turkeys, there are hundreds of varieties of birds in this area and they love the ponds, trees and open meadows. You will wake to doves cooing in the yard.

 

Main Floor

Our large country kitchen (24x20) has an island, breakfast nook and patio doors leading to a screened in patio.

A step up through an 8’ archway leads to the living room with TV/DVD/Stereo/CD, etc.

Straight ahead is our dining room, behind French doors (16x10) boasting a 9’ harvest table which seats 10.

Off to the right is our Sun Room, with wood stove, magnificent views of gardens, pull out couch and library.

To the left is a medium sized bedroom with ensuite bathroom and laundry facilities.
